Long story short, as a little girl I did a lot of crafts. My mom set up a table in our garage with everything a crafty kid could ever dream of. I have tried to provide a lot of crafting supplies for my son because he is interested in paints, crayons and all of those fun things. However, last night I realized that there are a lot of crafting supplies that our house is lacking.
I made up this list which includes some things we already 
have and a lot of things I would like to purchase because I think it’s important to feed your child’s creativity. Some of these things seem as if they will be remarkably inexpensive (especially if I start at the dollar store). The game plan is to empty out a storage container that I already have and make it the craft supply box and then only buy as many supplies as I believe will fit.
Craft Supplies:
- Paper
- Safety scissors
- Crayons
- Coloring books
- Pencils
- Stencils
- Markers
- Paints
- Paint brushes
- Glue
- Glue sticks
- Glitter
- Pom-pom balls
- Pipe cleaners
- Popsicle sticks
- Foam shapes/letters
- Rocks (yes, rocks)
- Play-Doh/clay
- Old magazines
- String
- Beads
- Sequins
- Feather
- Googly eyes
- Wooden surfaces (bird houses, signs, etc.)
So this is a really long list and I’m sure that there are still more craft supplies that I will end up buying when I set out on this mission. Nonetheless, these seem like the basics to me and like I said most of them seem like they wont cost much. I’m so excited to surprise my son with all of these things and see what he wants to make first.
